carylwithay Posted January 23, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 23, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Taken with a D Lus 4 on S. Hope you like it. It is not easy getting a clear shot. I have about the blink of an eye and he is gone. I have to use the flash or I would get a silhouette. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carylwithay Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted January 24, 2010 Thank you Paul and Melissah. This was a really hard one to get. Usually he flies away so fast that the camera has no time to focus. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Foo Posted January 26, 2010 Share #5 Posted January 26, 2010 Hi, Did I read you correctly when you wrote that you used a Leica D Lux 4 to photo the bird? It is fantastic and no easy matter! The sharpness is acceptable and definitely you were very fast in your action to achieve this photo. Congratulations! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carylwithay Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted January 26, 2010 Yes, I used a D lux 4. I set the shutter to 200 and use the flash. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauledell Posted January 27, 2010 Share #8 Posted January 27, 2010 Caryl, I just now noticed a "ghost image" of its wing in its downstroke below the hummingbird. Here all the time, I thought you were the fastest DL4 in the west. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carylwithay Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share #9 Posted January 27, 2010 Paul, that is his wing in motion. His wings go really fast. I only aim to stop his body. I like when the wings move but often I stop them too. I use1/200 as a shutter speed. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Jackson Posted January 29, 2010 Share #11 Posted January 29, 2010 Seems surreal. American Indian legend says they are messengers of the spirit world. They certainly look magical enough to be so. Very nice photo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allamande Posted January 29, 2010 Share #13 Posted January 29, 2010 Caryl, You have a way with these birds! This one is no exception. You capture them so beautifully that your images are almost as delightful as watching them hover over my sage plants. Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
becker Posted January 30, 2010 Share #14 Posted January 30, 2010 Your hummingbirds are stunning, as I said cant believe it, very very nice. Great series. cant get enough. The only thing, I would cut a little bit off the roof, of the Background building. In Hamburg ist snowing and icy what a contrast. Best MB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
